There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:

Responding to the publicâ€™s fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale developed by stronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may
B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to
C. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to
D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will
E. astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may.

E changes the meaning.
E.astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may.
This means the scale rates the likelyhood of an asteroid/comet. Doesn't make sense.
C and D are closest. Prefer D.

D.

Only C and D were close for me: the "how" in C seems awkward. Even though the use of gerund is not very common in the GMAT, I'll choose D on this one.
